THE LANDMARKS

Faraglioni, Arco Naturale and the island’s famous grottoes

The itinerary circles Capri to bring you close to the island’s most iconic coastal features: the Faraglioni, the Arco Naturale and landmark grottos like the Grotta Bianca and Grotta Verde for photo‑worthy views from the water.

THE APPROACH

A navigation along the Sorrentine coast

Departure from Castellammare follows the Sorrentine shoreline—cliffs, coves and the Roman vestiges at Capo di Sorrento—setting the tone for a day of coastal scenery before arriving at Capri.

THE ISLAND TIME

Three hours to explore Marina Piccola and Capri town

After the sea circuit and a swim break, the boat lands at Marina Piccola, giving you three hours ashore to wander the Piazzetta, visit local streets and sights, shop or relax at the beach at your own pace.
